Maria Rocha
About me
My name is Maria Rocha, I am a qualified Counsellor, Clinical Transpersonal Regressive Hypnotherapist and Supervisor, Registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP)) and General Hypnotherapy Standards council (GHSC).
I have a spiritual background and I believe we are all connected. I believe we are not on earth by chance but to fulfil a higher calling, which can be simply learning how ‘to be happy’ by being conscious of ourselves, of humanity and of the world.
I work with a wide range of techniques from different approaches such as Psychodynamic, CBT, Gestalt, Integrative, Transpersonal Hypnotherapy, Person Centered, Psychosynthesis, to Hypnoanalysis, Solution Focused therapy and a few more Holistic Therapies.
In this way, I will be able to help you to understand what is happening right now in your life, trace it back to the root that caused the pain/problem, heal what needs to be healed and strengthen your sense of identity so that you will be more conscious of who you are and your life.
Together, we will address your life’s problems on a physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual level.
Let me help you!

Maria is an amazing listening and makes me feel so supportive. She encourages individual growth and creates such a safe space for me to open up about me feelings. Most of the time I struggle to open up but with Maria I feel so comfortable.

Maria is wonderful . I’m only a couple of weeks in and I already feel like I’ve known her for a lifetime. Maria is gentle but firm , very analytical and really knows how to get the deep information out of you in a comfortable manner . She holds you accountable and is extremely professional. I Was not expecting to click immediately with my therapist but she’s made it happen. Thankyou Maria :)
